During the Grantebridgescire arc in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Eivor is tasked with helping Soma reclaim her city and root out a mole within her inner circle. Choosing the correct culprit is a pivotal narrative moment that permanently alters your relationship with Soma and her advisors. Investigating the physical evidence and talking to all suspects reveals that Galinn is the true traitor.
Investigating Clues and Alibis in Grantebridge
Uncovering the truth requires careful exploration of the city and its surrounding areas. Eivor must inspect a secret tunnel painted with yellow marker paint used by the traitor to escape after opening the gates. Following the trail toward the river leads to a freshly painted longship that points directly to the real culprit.
Interrogating Birna, Lif, and Galinn provides crucial context regarding their locations during the night of the attack. While Lif had his yellow paint stolen recently, Galinn offers vague explanations about his whereabouts and his obsessive focus on fate and visions. Keeping up with daily gaming news often reminds players how detailed narrative quests like this enhance open-world RPG immersion.
The Real Traitor Revealed: Why It Is Galinn
Galinn's motivation stems from his belief that his destiny is greater than serving Soma, driving him to collaborate with the Saxons. The yellow paint found on his longship proves he was the one who marked the path for Wigmund's forces to ambush the settlement. Confronting him with this evidence leaves no doubt about his treachery and betrayal of the clan.
Accusing Lif or Birna leads to a tragic mistake, as Soma will execute an innocent advisor while Galinn remains hidden. If left unmasked, Galinn eventually turns on the remaining inner circle during a later confrontation, resulting in further casualties. Correctly identifying Galinn saves innocent lives and secures a strong alliance with Grantebridgescire.
Consequences of Your Choice for the Raven Clan
Presenting the evidence to Soma allows her to execute Galinn swiftly, restoring order and justice to her ranks. Relieved to have the truth revealed, Soma expresses deep gratitude to Eivor for protecting her clan from internal collapse. This decision ensures that Birna survives and ultimately decides to join Eivor's crew at Ravensthorpe.
If you pick the wrong suspect, Birna will not join your crew, and the trust between Eivor and Soma is severely strained. Paying close attention to dialogue choices and environmental clues guarantees the best possible outcome for your settlement. Taking the time to analyze every piece of evidence pays off in long-term narrative rewards.
